***** GAME THREAD: Kentucky vs. Ole Miss *****

I must have missed all the other teams that lost every single starter from the previous year, every single bench player, and their recruiting class. Hmmmm....I just checked and yeah no other team lost all that. Florida returned 2 starters and 4 contributing players, Tennessee returned 8 scholarship players, Auburn returned 6 scholarship players including their top 2 scorers.

USC ,Arkansas, Louisville, Michigan right off the top of my head

Arkansas had UK's starters and recruiting class and also Trevon Brazile withdrew from the draft and returned. Michigan returned Nimari Burnett and Will Tschetter, and Durral Brooks the #1 high school player in Michigan who had committed to Michigan stayed committed and played last year for them. South Carolina returned 52.8% of minutes played and 43.5% of scoring from the 2022-23 roster. I stand by my post that not one single NCAA team lost every single starter, every single bench player and every meaningful recruit. UK only held on to the 2 KY boys who were expected to be multi-year projects.

USC returned 1 player, and they finished with a losing record and missed the NCAA tourney. So thank you for bringing them up. That makes what Pope accomplished while playing in the hardest conference in the history of college basketball even more amazing.

We famously won the TOP at 32+ minutes. We ran a play every 28 seconds of possession. OM ran one every 24 seconds.

It was awesome to see. How many time outs did we burn so we didn’t run the play clock? Or timeouts due to just not knowing what the hell we were doing at all, even out of timeouts?!
